- Delete – Redundant to no-win situation as the above IP put it. It's also biased towards video gaming and is inherently POV. –MuZemike 04:58, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Majority of this is OR. It's completely unsourced. This gaming term is not covered by sources enough. The mentions are just that – mention without explicit explanation past a few sentences. Added lead to No-win situation#In video games as to avoid saying Merge. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 20:51, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That was a fairly daft thing to do, because you've just made it a requirement to keep the article so that the edit history and author attribution supporting this copied content is properly retained in order to comply with the project's copyright licences. The advice given about merger mid-discussion in the Wikipedia:Guide to deletion is there for a good reason, you know. Uncle G (talk) 00:18, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
